Understanding PSN and SB Status Filters
Last Updated on July 17, 2024 | 3 min read
The NIVOMAX platform incorporates advanced filtering capabilities designed to streamline access to specific technical documentation and data. By utilizing Product Sequence Numbers (PSN) and Service Bulletin (SB) status filters, users can customize the display of documents to match precise maintenance requirements and operational statuses of aircraft or equipment.
Purpose of PSN and SB Status Filters
Targeted Information Access
PSN Filters: The PSN is a unique identifier for each unit of equipment, often corresponding to specific configurations or versions of an aircraft or component. By entering one or more PSNs, users can hide the technical data irrelevant to the exact models or units they are working on or managing.
SB Status Filters: Service Bulletins reflect changes or updates to equipment, often critical for ensuring compliance with safety standards and operational efficiency. Filtering by SB status allows maintenance personnel and engineers to view documents that are specifically relevant either before or after certain bulletins have been applied, ensuring that they are viewing the most current and applicable information.
Efficiency and Compliance
These filters help reduce the volume of irrelevant data being displayed, allowing users to focus on the information that is directly applicable to their tasks. This targeted approach not only saves time but also helps ensure that operations are compliant with the latest regulations and manufacturer recommendations.
Enhanced Safety and Maintenance Planning
By providing access to specific documentation based on the actual configuration of the equipment, including any modifications or updates through SBs, the NIVOMAX Viewer ensures that maintenance and repair activities are based on the latest and most accurate information. This reduces the risk of errors and enhances the overall safety of operations.
How It Works
The PSN and SB status filters are integrated into the NIVOMAX Viewer’s interface, where users can easily specify their criteria.
PSN Selection: Users can input a single PSN or a range to filter documentation for one piece of equipment or a fleet.
SB Status Choice: Users select from ‘PRE’ or ‘POST’ to determine whether they want to see documentation issued before or after specific service bulletins.
Once these filters are set and applied, the Viewer updates to display only the content that matches the specified parameters. This allows users to quickly find the necessary manuals, schematics, and procedural documents without sorting through irrelevant material.
Use Cases
Maintenance Technicians: Quickly access only the maintenance manuals and procedural guides that are applicable to the specific aircraft they are repairing, based on its PSN and the SBs that have been applied.
Compliance Officers: Ensure that all maintenance and operational procedures align with regulatory requirements by accessing documents that reflect the current SB status of their fleet.
Engineering Teams: Review design documents and technical specifications for specific equipment models to design upgrades or address recurring issues.
The PSN and SB status filters in NIVOMAX are essential tools for aviation professionals seeking to optimize their workflows, enhance compliance, and maintain the highest standards of safety and efficiency. By leveraging these features, users can ensure they are always working with the most relevant and up-to-date information tailored to their specific needs.
